“If you appreciate a good story and good writing, grab anything Tim Bryant writes and prepare to be hooked and fully entertained.” —Joe R. Lansdale For a Texas Ranger, death is a way of life. Wilkie John Liquorish may be a young man, but he’s no greenhorn. So far in his short, hard life, he’s dug graves, driven cattle, and nearly dangled from the end of a hangman’s noose—no thanks to his ungentlemanly enemy, Gentleman Jack Delaney. Now Wilkie’s been newly deputized as a Texas Ranger—and the real fun begins . . . At Fort Concho, Wilkie John receives word that a bounty hunter is tracking the notorious outlaw known as Phantom Bill. Wilkie John has every reason to join the party: duty, honor, redemption, maybe even fortune and fame. But he has one reason to be wary: the bounty hunter is Gentleman Jack. He tried to kill Wilkie John once. This time, he might succeed . . . THERE ARE TWO PATHS TO IMMORTALITY IN THE OLD WEST: SHOOT FAST OR DIE FASTER.

Dutch gets naked! In OLD MOTHER CURRIDGE, Private detective Alvis "Dutch" Curridge asks questions like: "Did Elvis Presley kill this poor dead girl?" "Did I kill the bastard son of lawman Bat Masterson?" and "Did Alvis Sr. leave me with the greatest mystery of them all?" Dutch Curridge leaves his beloved Fort Worth to find some answers in OLD MOTHER CURRIDGE, the greatest Dutch Curridge tale of them all. And yes, he gets naked in both a physical and metaphorical sense. It's a story about questions that lead to more questions. A story about stories, and each one comes with a price.
